I don’t own nor will I ever own any of these toys. But the fn engineering behind one of these things is amazing. The people who figured out how to make these are absolute artists.
Oh btw, that hood piece is tabbed in via hook tabs (so there was a really good chance you could have snapped those off because you're pushing out and down on the hood). What you can do is push upwards where the wheels used to be after they have been flipped down and easily free the hood from the hook tabs then rotate it down. I just got the figure, 60 bucks was a steal and it's probably my favorite masterpiece so far.
AGAIN! THANK YOU!!! Got Sideswipe and Sunstreaker today. Thanks to you, Sideswipe transformed into robot mode! Love these videos!!!! I owe you so much!
an interesting note from a certified lamborghini nut here. that countach has the early "periscope" roof panel from the countach lp400 mixed with the wheel flares that didn't appear until the countach lp400S from 1978. not that it matters......
Fur Gulley I've just noticed that the wheels look a lot like the ones on the legendary Walter Wolf Countach (Bravo?). What if Sideswipe was actually inspired by said car?
Thanks emgo316! Yours are always the videos I go to when transforming my MP the first time. My lambor's tab is way too big for the slot on his front bumper. Oh well...
I am so glad I have him too. I am go. He is truly a masterpiece phenomenon. Love the robot mode. I absolutely love the Lamborghini mode. Just absolutely astonishing.
Man just picked up sideswipe today got it from China took forever but man he is badass and I'm watching your review on sideswipe right now can't wait to figure out how to transform them oh yeah
Decided to come back and watch this one after being offered the G2 version. It’s a nice, solid looking figure. I wish Badcube had done a G2 version of their’s.
i envy your appreciation and contentment of what you have.. you're not bothered of what people say about those toys; if they like it or what. i salute you men... great reviews..
Awesome review as always Emgo! I think it's worth the $54 plus $20 shipping I paid for it from AmiAmi, but I think BBTS's price is kinda pushing it. Oh, and the cutaway gag was funny as usual
Just picked up another one of these KO as my last one was a crappy rag doll of an affair with a broken windscreen. This one is beautiful, far better than my last one.
Yes, he's hard to find, and the price has jumped way up. I hope they do him like MP-Soundwave and release a 2nd wavw, also drop the price. I notice they have also dropped the price on MP-Soundwave by $30!
I don’t know what is it about it but emgo’s mic in these older videos pick up every little noise the toy makes, that may also have something to do with toys from 10+ years ago had nicer plastic anyway I’m going off topic, what I’m trying to say is these older emgo videos are really satisfying to listen to not to mention watch.
I def agree about the box size for the cars. when I got Wheeljack it was pretty jarring compared to my Shockwave. I think they should have made the cars at least a little bigger.
Back when these MP's started, I had thought the original idea was to make master piece transformers at a high quality and awesome size. Now to only years later be disappointed that their trying to scale them in because of the collectors. "Oh well in the tv show he is suppose to be this size" IMO that should of never been relevant, a tall high quality G1 should of been where its at, which is why I don't personally care for MP-10, vs 2005 original release. EITHERWAY, I bought MP 12, and enjoy the hell out of him. Just like I will do with the rest. I mean, with sideswipe and bumblebee, we could have at least gotten diecast. Love them binaltech, okay enough talking, thanks very much for the video. Wonderful MP overall. :D
I don't have a problem with his size, it's his price. $89 depending where you get him, plus shipping will cost you well over $100. Just too expensive for a large deluxe. He's definitely a nice figure, but I just can't justify spending that much for it.
Hey how tall is this figure in robot mode compared to the length in car mode. I'm wondering the same with other figures too because that would give a nice indication of how big would TF characters be in real life.
I really like this one. Both car and Robot. Buy worthy right there. Anyone who thinks he is small, he's actually to scale to fit with the rest of the MP stuff. Compared to Optimus, he looks correct.
I was sitting here, covering my mouth. Oh my goodness he's gonna break it! xD It's a really pretty model, and it looks tight and durable. I'll be buying this one. Much thanks. ^^
I have seen pics of horrendous paint jobs on MP-Lambor and from what I could see from ur vid, it looks like you where one of the lackey ones who got a good paint job! Are there any paint defects on ur Sideswipe and where did you order yours from?
Hey Amgo what’s up i’m like this I just recently ordered the MP 12 sideswipe it’s not gonna get here till June which is odd to me but in any case it’s eBay so what can you say butt this is what I’m saying I see no problem with the size of the masterpiece I think the masterpiece sideswipe is a perfect scale with masterpiece Optimus prime because when you size up a Lambo with an 18 wheeler that’s the actual size just about so MP 12 sideswipe Is perfect clean transformation as a Lamborghini clean transformation as a robot can’t get any better than that
i don't know if i want to buy this guy or Prowl. if i get this Masterpiece Sideswipe. I might only leave it in vehicle mode, because you can't really see the eyes. But that would mean that i wasted 80 US dollars for nothing.
Good Day Emgo I ordered Side Swipe last Week and waiting for him to arrive From Your video He looks better than ebay advertisement I do have Sunstreaker So had to get his Bro Be Safe and Play On!!!!
So, bumblebee is the first car former they come out with for every other line, but with this one they come out with sideswipe and red alert. Hasbro/takara, make up your mind.
This was my first masterpiece, and im so happy it was Also, i was pretty young so i threw the box in the bin, dont worry it was just the box, none of the accessories, but i still feel bad about it.
I think the thing that puts me off buying g1 figures is that in robot mode the look really simple but then i watch the video and completely changes my perspective
I see a lot of them on dealer websites for 35$ from highly rated sellers so I'm not sure if they're ripping me off or not or if it's a knock-off, any thoughts?
Yeah, they are knock offs for sure. I suggest going to RocketPunchArmy to tell differencies between the two (although there are not too many). I am honestly getting a KO silverstreak,as i cannot afford a legit one.
Yea I read more into the listings and all the way down past all the fun package and figure art was a message "*Is a knock-off version of the figure" =(
Still don't like this thing too much, although I am starting to warm up to it, the alt-mode looks nice, and could maybe pass for a model car if the giant autobot logo wasn't there. my problem mostly arises from the fact that he costs about as much as two leaders, has about all the tooling of a mediocre voyager, and the size of a tall deluxe. That, and you could pretty much get the TRU masterpiece optimus at the same price, not really worth it.
If there is one thing they should fix up on this guy when the do a 2.0 version of him is to give him bright colour cartoon accurate looks a changeable face plate and make his chest look more flush with the body I think his chest looks a little too wide so yeah those are the 3 things I think they should do for him
Man, I envy people so much who own Materpieces and 3rd party figures, there so cool!
Shockwave640 i agree
Shockwave640 I order this guy today, my daughter and I have a small collection of transformers feel free and check em out. Emgo got me hooked
Good for you! I hope your collection grows and prospers!
@Shockwave640 can’t agree more
The KO of Sideswipe is 35 bucks. The KO of $280 Starscream is 80 bucks. Not so bad.
I don't get why sideswipe wasn't a lambo in the bay films (although the stingray was beautiful)
yt b probably liscensing issues
poopy pidgeon224 Lockdown?
Licensing issues, plus Bay had made a deal with General Motors to showcase mainly their cars in the first 2 films
Probably some deal with chevy
@@acoote1701 That is why Bumblebee became a Camaro.
Hey emgo, since you don't like throwing masterpiece boxes, from now on if you get a masterpiece figure, you should just get a random box and throw it
Or throw the figure instead! :D
Smart idea.
Yes
Abigail's Corner you think he would really do that
Or throw Mascot
"A lot of people think he's not worth the money because he's so small" - and then the WFC scale shrink and price hikes arrived...
G1 sideswipe really holds up, aside from articulation his robot mode and vehicle mode both look really good and he has an amazing headsculpt.
I don’t own nor will I ever own any of these toys.
But the fn engineering behind one of these things is amazing. The people who figured out how to make these are absolute artists.
Awesome. The skit was one of your best. Only lil Lambor I can think of is wst Lambor. (you had me scrambling to remember a small one.)
Oh btw, that hood piece is tabbed in via hook tabs (so there was a really good chance you could have snapped those off because you're pushing out and down on the hood). What you can do is push upwards where the wheels used to be after they have been flipped down and easily free the hood from the hook tabs then rotate it down.

AGAIN! THANK YOU!!! Got Sideswipe and Sunstreaker today. Thanks to you, Sideswipe transformed into robot mode! Love these videos!!!! I owe you so much!
Cool
Gotta love sideswipe best of the masterpiece autobot cars like all of the masterpieces I have but really love the design on him
an interesting note from a certified lamborghini nut here. that countach has the early "periscope" roof panel from the countach lp400 mixed with the wheel flares that didn't appear until the countach lp400S from 1978. not that it matters......
Fur Gulley I’m actually super glad I’m not the only one who noticed that
Fur Gulley I've just noticed that the wheels look a lot like the ones on the legendary Walter Wolf Countach (Bravo?). What if Sideswipe was actually inspired by said car?
He doesn’t know the car model
If ony the rear wheels did the same as the front so I can make a hover Countach
Galaxie you predicted the transformers x bttf crossover that is a heavy remold of a sideswipe and the wheels can flip
@@chaoticproductions3922 oh my god.
I was crying at the video. Well, the intro 😂
4 valve 12 cylinder
Thanks emgo316! Yours are always the videos I go to when transforming my MP the first time. My lambor's tab is way too big for the slot on his front bumper. Oh well...
I think I am starting to hear that intro sound in my sleep
I am so glad I have him too. I am go. He is truly a masterpiece phenomenon. Love the robot mode. I absolutely love the Lamborghini mode. Just absolutely astonishing.
Man just picked up sideswipe today got it from China took forever but man he is badass and I'm watching your review on sideswipe right now can't wait to figure out how to transform them oh yeah
i love how he said v12 then said 4 cylinders XD
That’s all just gibberish to me. Just read what I saw online lol
@@emgo316 XD thanks for the reply! nice to see u active after all this time :)
Now you’re speaking my language, mascot!
“I haven’t broken anything on camera yet!”
In before G1 Abominus.
Decided to come back and watch this one after being offered the G2 version.
It’s a nice, solid looking figure. I wish Badcube had done a G2 version of their’s.
i envy your appreciation and contentment of what you have.. you're not bothered of what people say about those toys; if they like it or what. i salute you men... great reviews..
the first week of school is BAD!
Natasha Kiser it's better than the rest except for the last week of school
4.14 "You can close that up. Bam, review done.
4:14
Awesome skit at the end, as always! Can't wait for that Soundwave review!
Awesome review as always Emgo! I think it's worth the $54 plus $20 shipping I paid for it from AmiAmi, but I think BBTS's price is kinda pushing it. Oh, and the cutaway gag was funny as usual
the Lamborghini Countach was released in 1974 and is widely known as the very first supercar
I had the OG Sideswipe. 😥😋 The good old days.
Just picked up another one of these KO as my last one was a crappy rag doll of an affair with a broken windscreen.
This one is beautiful, far better than my last one.
Yes, he's hard to find, and the price has jumped way up. I hope they do him like MP-Soundwave and release a 2nd wavw, also drop the price. I notice they have also dropped the price on MP-Soundwave by $30!
Nice review. My Sideswipe has a couple paint defects, but nowhere near the problems others have encountered.
bro i died when the minion mascot guy went with the casual nope to ur question emgo
Mascot is being realistic. Who can say all features in a car and know what that all means?
I don’t know what is it about it but emgo’s mic in these older videos pick up every little noise the toy makes, that may also have something to do with toys from 10+ years ago had nicer plastic anyway I’m going off topic, what I’m trying to say is these older emgo videos are really satisfying to listen to not to mention watch.
On Ebay you can get this figure for like $27
ebay is good,u have to watch out for scams on there,i got 3 items was scams,ebay didnt refound me for one elso
Is it just me or does anyone else notice that the sinyness of the plastic to the point that he looks like he is made of diecast
I def agree about the box size for the cars. when I got Wheeljack it was pretty jarring compared to my Shockwave. I think they should have made the cars at least a little bigger.
V12 with 4 cylinders Allright i got it

I like the Transformation of Lambor from car to robot. Is this the same mold as Red Alert?
Hey how tall is this figure in robot mode compared to the length in car mode. I'm wondering the same with other figures too because that would give a nice indication of how big would TF characters be in real life.
I just received mine today. This has a lot of steps to it (like a puzzle), but is still cool.
Same!, thinking of getting another one
I really like this one. Both car and Robot. Buy worthy right there. Anyone who thinks he is small, he's actually to scale to fit with the rest of the MP stuff. Compared to Optimus, he looks correct.
I always wanted a better screen-accurate g1 bumblebee figure. Does not matter what kind, what matter is the figure.
I hope they release all these masterpieces here... don't wanna pay extra....
I was sitting here, covering my mouth. Oh my goodness he's gonna break it! xD It's a really pretty model, and it looks tight and durable. I'll be buying this one. Much thanks. ^^
If only I would have known about these MP’s eight years ago I have been able to afford them then! 😢
I have seen pics of horrendous paint jobs on MP-Lambor and from what I could see from ur vid, it looks like you where one of the lackey ones who got a good paint job! Are there any paint defects on ur Sideswipe and where did you order yours from?
I've just bought him, waiting for him to get here.
I bought both mo12/12+. Both of them the windshield clips snapped
V 12 and a 4 cylinder now i would love to see that awesome vid man
Just got mine and love it
Hey Amgo what’s up i’m like this I just recently ordered the MP 12 sideswipe it’s not gonna get here till June which is odd to me but in any case it’s eBay so what can you say butt this is what I’m saying I see no problem with the size of the masterpiece I think the masterpiece sideswipe is a perfect scale with masterpiece Optimus prime because when you size up a Lambo with an 18 wheeler that’s the actual size just about so MP 12 sideswipe Is perfect clean transformation as a Lamborghini clean transformation as a robot can’t get any better than that
Great review emgo. Funny as always
i don't know if i want to buy this guy or Prowl.
if i get this Masterpiece Sideswipe. I might only leave it in vehicle mode, because you can't really see the eyes. But that would mean that i wasted 80 US dollars for nothing.
If you're gonna waste 80 i would get sunstorm tru version he is really cool
Or buy a model countach
Whether people know it or not, he is in scale correctly. The Autobot cars were shorter than Starscream and his brothers in the original cartoon.
Good Day Emgo
I ordered Side Swipe last Week and waiting for him to arrive
From Your video He looks better than ebay advertisement
I do have Sunstreaker
So had to get his Bro
Be Safe and Play On!!!!
Link to buy it plz
Here is Lambor or we know him as Sideswipe. It sounded funny the way you said it
What’s black and white, and red all over? 🤓
Where to best buy the figures? Ebay or rather as new one?
He threw Sunstreakers box
looks great!! get red alert too.
What you said about torque made no sense
How much was this figure? And was it the official or unofficial re-issue?
I may be late but on Amazon Prime it was 35 dollars
when he talks about the range of movement of the legs did anybody else think "bumblebee quit lubricating on the human" ?
i want this guy for christmas
O
Loving the skits.
The ending skit is hilarious. Man I wish I subscribed earlier
Although this figure kicks ass, no jet pack or pile driver for his hands?
Love ur reviews man!
Great figure indeed. The arm joints are very loose on my figure though. And it has a stretch mark at the base of the hood.
Edit: it finally broke in pieces. One of the windows broke of after the crotch broke off on an earlier stage. Final destination: scrap heap.
So, bumblebee is the first car former they come out with for every other line, but with this one they come out with sideswipe and red alert. Hasbro/takara, make up your mind.
Awesome review emgo! Cool figure indeed!! Will have to pick this one up for sure!! Lol skit was wicked funny!!
This was my first masterpiece, and im so happy it was
Also, i was pretty young so i threw the box in the bin, dont worry it was just the box, none of the accessories, but i still feel bad about it.
Masterpiece unicron is gonna be huge!
In the next coming masterpiece reviews, you should bring another box to throw
We really need a 2.0 of this figure.
4-cylinder? V12s have 12 cylinders! The name says it all!
That's what I found online so yell at them lol
+emgo316 how do you make mascot talk?
+Minhui Ren he puts his microphone on a setting that makes him sound high-pitched or he makes his voice sound high-pitched when he is editing
ALMOST AT 200,000
Why can't mascot be in the videos
I think the thing that puts me off buying g1 figures is that in robot mode the look really simple but then i watch the video and completely changes my perspective
I see a lot of them on dealer websites for 35$ from highly rated sellers so I'm not sure if they're ripping me off or not or if it's a knock-off, any thoughts?
Yeah, they are knock offs for sure. I suggest going to RocketPunchArmy to tell differencies between the two (although there are not too many). I am honestly getting a KO silverstreak,as i cannot afford a legit one.
Yea I read more into the listings and all the way down past all the fun package and figure art was a message "*Is a knock-off version of the figure" =(
Ordered this recently but I think the one I'm waiting on is a ko as it was just over 20 quid
Hey emgo, will you be getting the masterpiece bumblebee?
Nono, we need another Masterpiece Prime or Seeker. There's never enough of them.
gonna get this and masterpiece prowl for my birthday!!!
Did you get it?
“I don’t break rules, I bend them A LOT”
Most of the Autobot cars of masterpiece are voyager class size of scale.
Still don't like this thing too much, although I am starting to warm up to it, the alt-mode looks nice, and could maybe pass for a model car if the giant autobot logo wasn't there. my problem mostly arises from the fact that he costs about as much as two leaders, has about all the tooling of a mediocre voyager, and the size of a tall deluxe. That, and you could pretty much get the TRU masterpiece optimus at the same price, not really worth it.
he uses the pile drivers while digging a cave in the ep where the dinobots are created
Will you ever do a video of MP01 Optimus Prime
my gf and i cracked up laughing at the end of the video when optimus got his new toy and said he was going to play with himself
He has just been announced :)
Sideswipe ain't havin' it.
If there is one thing they should fix up on this guy when the do a 2.0 version of him is to give him bright colour cartoon accurate looks a changeable face plate and make his chest look more flush with the body I think his chest looks a little too wide so yeah those are the 3 things I think they should do for him
will this Figure have a US release mr Emgo??
so cool i like it. its savonn
WE NEED A MASTERPIECE RATCHET
Mascot just blew my mind. Cool :)
